Story of the match: Setting the tone…Liverpool v Crystal Palace - Premier League

Luis Suarez was on top form yet again and Brendan Rodgers can, finally, see the light at the end of the tunnel. As for Palace, a lot of work needs to be done if they want to stay in the Premier League.

The match that started with a bang, ends with a puff. Liverpool were amazing in the first half, but in the second, they were just happy containing the Palace team. They did not need to take any risks, and that’s exactly what they did. Final scoreline: 3-1.

FULL TIME whistle is blown

Four minutes of added time.

85′- MISS! Daniel Sturridge hits the post! Suarez finds the Englishman, who’s shot hits the post. So close!

Hope this goal can open up the match, which has been, quite honestly, boring, in the second half. 11 minutes of normal time remaining.

77′- GOAL! Dwight Gayle! He flicks a ball with a mere touch of the head in the back of the net from a Palace free kick.

74′- The game is further delayed by an injury to Crystal Palace player, who was fouled by Luis Suarez.

68′- SHOT! Dwight Gayle with a powerful shot from just outside the box, which breezes over the bar.

SUB: Moses comes off for Luis Alberto and Daniel Agger replaces Sakho

62′- The match has slowed down beyond recognition. This is not the match we were witnessing in the first half. Absolutely nothing to report.

56′- Crystal Palace have seen a lot of ball in this half, but have not been able to do anything with it as Liverpool still look deadly on the other side of the pitch. 52′- Crystal Palace has been able to mount some kind of attack, but it has not resulted in any rewards. Yet. 51′- Second half has been a drab affair till now. Not many chances as the teams are sitting back. SECOND HALF begins SUB: Dwight Gayle on for Jimmy Kebe and Campana on for Jerome Story of the half: Foot on the gas… Liverpool v Crystal Palace - Premier League Brendan Rodgers will be a satisfied man at half-time but Ian Holloway has an unenviable job of rallying his troops to put up a fight in the second half. Liverpool are on a roll. It is 3-0 at the half time, with Suarez, Sturridge and Gerrard finding the back of the goal for the Reds. Crystal Palace can only hope for damage control, that too, if Liverpool allow them to. Sizzling performance from the Reds in the first half. Way to go… FIRST HALF ends 46′- SAVE! Sterling plays the ball to Suarez, who cuts off a defender and shoots but his shot is parried away by the goalkeeper. 45′- SAVE! Daniel Sturridge is played on by Gerrard, and the young striker shoots the ball in the hands of the keeper. 39′- MISS! Victor Moses misses a sitter. Could not get a proper grip of the ball and as a result, hits the bar of an empty goal. 38′- GOAL! Steven Gerrard! Calmly slots it in the corner of the goal, while the keeper dived on the other. 37′- PENALTY! Raheem Sterling is brought down in the box after his shirt was pulled. Gerrard on the spot. 33′- Liverpool knock at Palace’s door yet again as Suarez and Sturridge create magic before Suarez is brought down in the box. No penalty.

30′- CLOSE! Sakho almost put the ball in the back of his own net. Panic in Liverpool defense.

26′- CLOSE! Jimmy Kebe was one on one with the keeper but was unable to score, and he shot the rebound way above the bar.

22′- Liverpool are in firm control of the match. Crystal Palace are barely getting the ball. And when they do have the ball, they are unable to do much with it.

17′- GOAL! Daniel Sturridge! He claims the ball on the flank, cuts inside towards the goal and unleashes a powerful yet placed shot on the far post. Great finish!

11′- CLOSE! Enrique finds Moses with his cross but Moses fails to control the ball in front of the keeper. What a chance!

Anfield is buzzing! What an atmosphere. Crystal Palace will need an out of the world performance to salvage some points here today.

Here we are at Anfield for our second offering of the weekend as Liverpool host Crystal Palace.

Luis Suarez is the man in spotlight as he retains his place in the team for his second consecutive Premier League match. Also, he has scored 18 goals in his last 21 games.
